    Not everyone is fortunate enough to have parents that can afford to serve as their personal ATMs.

    Hell companies themselves are getting in on those prices these days.

    So I'm skimming through the next 50 pages...is there ANYTHING worthwhile related to this project discussed in the next 300 pages?? I actually wasn't kidding about the cliff notes. Would be great to have a summary page of the main info (i.e. the important stuff) without wading through thousands of posts debating the viability of Haslab being a crowdfund, when they charge (reasonable request but 20+ times in 70 pages?? DAMN!), scale insanity, grammar nazi craziness, and everyone's favorite word...scalper!!

    I need scorponok or black zarak anyway so they can strangle my sky lynx. Unless anyone wants to gift me a copy for Christmas, then I'm fine sitting victory saber out.

    It will take a least a year for this to be made. So by December 2022 we should see movement

    I mean to pay back, my parents don’t let me loan but they buy haslabs with me and buy 2-4 and keep 1, they make a profit, I get a collectible that’s how I explain it to them but they don’t do it for every single fig

    I'd say faster than that. He seems to be farther along in development than Perceptor, who had a wait period of about 9 months. So I'm thinking maybe summer, fall at the latest.

    o_O  That's going from asking to do a loan for 1 to asking them to loan over $700. Some parents might do that, most would just laugh becuase that is a ludicrous request.

    C'mooon, Hasbro, we bust your barrier so the least you could do is throw us the bone of an SS'86 Wheelie/Daniel-style chicken-walker mode Illumina II to represent Jan!

    If you're hitting your parents up for cash to try and sell Sabers at a mark-up down the road you owe them a cut of the profit because at that point why should they give *you* the money and not just buy 4 to sell themselves?

    Your profile says you are 20. This is very awkward.

    And with Saber, this isn't something where they're buying up stock and stopping others from getting it. If nobody buys now they're not getting made. Ever.

    Anyone expecting someone to put money down *now* on the off chance you may be able to afford it later is taking a risk and as such can charge whatever the market will bear later. Especially since if they charge *less* it's more likely someone will buy it from them then turn around and sell it for more themselves.

    You can't scalp something like this.

    Thank you for showing that man that parents are not banks who can take out unlimited loans when their child isn't even finished with middle school!

    Fake age. I didn’t know you could be young on the boards
    EDIT: as In I am a teen but just didn’t know how old you needed to be


    Should of clarified, 3 get bought, one is me, 2 are my parents, parents sell one, I sell one, then I buy their one for the original price, this means they can’t lose only I can, and it ends out good for both of us, they’re still my parents they’re not gonna dog me like that lol

    The shield is neat but I'm actually more stoked for the cartoon colors Holi, or as I affectionately like to call "Fixit".
